I would like to see more independent studies on GMO crops...enough to conduct a meta-analysis using ONLY independent studies. Wouldn't it be great if those studies, and the meta-analysis, concluded that GMO crops are completely safe and harmless for both humans and the environment?

I can't find the post where I wrote, " ...a bunch of stuff that only proves that he is unwilling to to bend enough to even understand the concerns of the other side, and will continue to belittle them for even having those concerns.... " so I'm having trouble putting it into the context that it was written.
Can you help me find this. I didn't see it in the last post I entered. I'll keep looking.
